Elle's secret boyfriend .

Alone.

I sat there coughing and sneezing. My mom made me hot coffee. I sipped the coffee so did Mike wiping his drenched hair on the towel. My parents were insistent that he stays back until the rain ceases because we walked back home in rain. Might look insane but it was much better than traversing inside Mike's house to get the car. Mike was playing with my siblings. He is indeed going to share a room with my little brothers.

I am damn sure, he can't get a morsel of sleep. The kiss with Mike, I  know not how to express it it was my first kiss in my life. But it was more like a reconciliation a pacifying one rather than a romantic one. With Mike you can't be sure about anything.

Mommy came to my room. I wanted to hold back everything, but the very second I saw her, emotions rushed out of my eyes, gushing down as tears.

Mom sat on the edge of my bed concern washing over her face"tell me dear".
I wept venting out everything including the kiss, mom consoled me as I wept on her shoulders.
"mom, I feel Mike is right, I am really lucky to have you ".

Next day, Mike and my brothers were sleeping.My three brothers slept peacefully on Mike. The boys got along really well. My sister Shany asked"Is he your boyfriend? ".
I startled bewildered "No, he is my friend ".
Then ask him to be mine she pleaded. Won't you sister.
Mike chuckled... " Shany ,it is an honour to have you as my girlfriend "
I broke into a fit of giggles.

However you try, you can never hate Mike.

In school I tried listening to classes, Mike sat in front scribbling down notes. I sat there staring at the blackboard as yesterday's dream reverberated in my fragile head. Allan, he appeared in my dream as usual, his emerald green eyes. I wondered if Mike's parents hate me so much. How would Allan's parents treat me? I shivered at the thought. Perhaps I would never see Allan in my life, stop daydreaming impossible, your life is in good condition now be satisfied idiot.

I wish god never gave me much hope on Allan,now I am suffering... I'll recover soon.... Suddenly I heard someone calling my name.

Mr Easton our science teacher yelled"Elena you can dream better, if you are out of my class"
I stammered"Sir"
"out " he yelled few giggles erupted, these kids never leave me alone.
I cursed, starting back home, kicked out of last class. I feigned a stomach pain.... Tired I reach home, mom laughed heartily when she heard I was kicked out for daydreaming .
"mom, that is mean"I retorted retiring to my room.
The rain has stopped.... But the whole place is wet, I sip my coffee rereading the pride and prejudice. Suddenly I heard some car park in the front of my house. "Mom,someone is in the front "I said resuming my book.
"Elle, I am baking see who it is"mom replied.
I lazily open the front door. There was no one in the front. Before closing the door I think I saw Mike's car. I walked out just to realise it wasn't Mike's.Suddenly a man in dark suit and a bouquet of flowers stood in front of me.
I stood there transfixed, staring at Allan Hawthorne.
